Chapter 25 Achieving Celestial Immortalhood: The Origin of Primordial Pure Qi
Within the Chaos Spirit Spring, Feng Zichen sat cross-legged, his Yang Spirit entering the Twelfth-Grade Pure World White Lotus, intending to refine this divine restriction.
Entering the Pure World White Lotus, he saw only a vast expanse of white, permeated with an extremely dense sacred aura. Deep within the space, forty-four innate divine restrictions crisscrossed, evolving the ultimate principles of the Great Dao.
"As expected of a Chaos Treasure, it actually possesses forty-four innate divine restrictions, only two short of becoming a true innate treasure,"
Feng Zichen exclaimed, standing before the restrictions.
Immediately, without hesitation, he gathered primordial energy and began attempting to refine the restrictions before him.
Instantly, various insights into the Dao of Purification surfaced in Feng Zichen's mind, plunging him into enlightenment.
Three years later, Feng Zichen abandoned the attempt to refine the restrictions, emerging helplessly from the Pure World White Lotus and returning to his original form.
Ultimately, his strength was too low; in three years, he had only refined four innate divine restrictions. Faced with the fifth innate divine restriction, no matter what methods he used, he couldn't budge it in the slightest.
Therefore, Feng Zichen returned to his original body, intending to improve his cultivation before refining it. After all, his Earth Immortal realm cultivation was indeed somewhat low and inadequate; it was time to advance to Celestial Immortal.
After his Yang God returned to his original body, Feng Zichen no longer suppressed his strength. One after another, deities manifested within him, and vast primordial energy surged forth, transforming into an eight-pointed, purple-hued star—the Ziwei Star.
This was the illusory image of the Ziwei Star, created by Feng Zichen using primordial energy.
In the boundless starry sky, the Ziwei Star seemed to sense the existence of the illusory image, quietly lowering a wisp of its primordial energy into the image.
With the aid of the Ziwei Star's primordial energy, the illusory image instantly solidified, with the Dao of Stars and the Dao of Primordial Energy alternating on it, helping Feng Zichen break through to the Celestial Immortal realm.
Cultivation knows no time; a hundred years pass in the blink of an eye.
While cultivating, Feng Zichen's body suddenly trembled, transforming into a ball of primordial energy that surged towards his Yang God. On his Yang God, countless innate Dao patterns shimmered, absorbing all the incoming primordial energy.
A moment later, the innate Dao patterns flashed, transforming into star gods, connecting with the celestial sphere, drawing upon its light to condense the meridians and form the apertures of his Yang God.
These newly formed star gods possessed greater divine power, a richer innate aura, and were permeated with the aura of the Great Dao.
With the successful condensation of meridians and the formation of apertures, strands of stellar essence descended, falling into Feng Zichen's Yang God. Then, using the stellar essence as a foundation, the Yang God developed its internal organs, bones, meridians, flesh, and skin, reconstructing its physical body.
At this moment, a beam of spiritual light flew out from Feng Zichen's Yang God, shining brightly in the air, giving rise to an innate true spirit, none other than Feng Zichen himself.
Physical body reconstructed, true spirit born.
At this point, Feng Zichen was completely devoid of any acquired aura, having fully transformed into a primordial being. A pressure belonging to the Celestial Immortal level emanated from him.
As if the Great Dao were gently resonating, Feng Zichen found himself in a mysterious place.
Above his head, forty-nine layers of void appeared, each layer manifesting countless primordial Dao principles, each more profound than the last.
Within the ninth layer of void, a Dao Fruit shone with a mysterious light, emanating endless principles that captivated Feng Zichen's mind.
"A Profound Immortal Dao Fruit?"
For some reason, information about that Dao Fruit surfaced in his mind.
Stepping into the ninth layer of void and obtaining the Dao Fruit would be the moment he achieved the status of a Profound Immortal.
Above the nine layers of void, in the eighteenth layer, an immortal Dao light flickered—that was the Golden Immortal Dao Fruit;
in the twenty-seventh layer, the radiance of the Great Dao illuminated all directions—that was the Taiyi Dao Fruit;
in the thirty-sixth layer, the Dao light shone brilliantly, transcending all things, radiating an aura of immortality and indestructibility—that was the Daluo Dao Fruit.
Beyond that, Feng Zichen could no longer see anything.
"This is… the Heavenly Dao Void!"
It was because after Feng Zichen's breakthrough, he had received the favor of the Heavenly Dao, which revealed the path ahead to him. "Is the cultivation after becoming a Celestial Immortal simply about proving one's Dao in the void of the Heavenly Dao?"
Having received the Heavenly Dao's guidance, Feng Zichen understood the path after becoming a Celestial Immortal. In each layer of the void, he imprinted his own Great Dao.
Crossing layer after layer of the void, his realm rose higher and higher, until he entered the core of the Heavenly Dao void, mastering the origin of the Heavenly Dao, becoming a saint untouched by cause and effect, unburdened by karma, and indestructible through countless eons.
Rumble!
Above Penglai Immortal Island, the wind and clouds suddenly changed, a gale arose, and pitch-black clouds covered the entire sky, interwoven with golden lightning, the thunder deafening.
The Nine-Nine Heavenly Tribulation, Feng Zichen's tribulation to become an immortal, had arrived.
Without any probing, without giving Feng Zichen a chance to prepare, eighty-one bolts of lightning struck simultaneously, crashing towards him.
With a flick of his finger, countless starlight descended, forming a cyan sword light, which slashed towards the lightning.
The cyan sword light was like a cyan dragon, clear yet not murky, impossible to grasp up close, impossible to discard from afar, its hidden transformations endless.
In a short while, the tribulation lightning was shattered, transforming into pure primordial energy, which Feng Zichen absorbed.
After advancing to the Celestial Immortal realm, Feng Zichen's connection with the Ziwei Star deepened, and his understanding of the Dao of Stars became more profound. With a mere thought, he could manipulate the starlight throughout the heavens, transforming it into countless forms, no longer needing the power of the Star God within his body.
Pointing at the tribulation clouds that had not yet dispersed in the sky, the clouds suddenly shifted, surging towards Feng Zichen and being refined into his body.
Shifting Stars and Changing Constellations was a divine power that Feng Zichen spontaneously comprehended after advancing to the Celestial Immortal realm.
It could rotate the palaces of all things in the universe, changing their positions; those who defied it could be killed, their essence destroyed, or they could be brought back to life. It could also manipulate stars, rotate the sun and moon, even reverse day and night, and control the order of time.
If he could even move the universe, let alone the mere tribulation of becoming an immortal.
Extracting a wisp of primordial lightning essence from the tribulation clouds, Feng Zichen integrated it into the Myriad Manifestations Divine Lightning, thereby enhancing the power of the divine lightning.
Afterwards, he walked towards the Twelfth-Grade Pure World White Lotus. Now that he was a Celestial Immortal, he should be able to refine many innate divine restrictions.
Suddenly, a clear light shone in the distance, accompanied by the endless sound of the Great Dao and overflowing with pure spiritual energy, transforming the area into a fairyland.
This wondrous sight attracted Feng Zichen's curiosity. Could it be that some treasure had been born?
After a moment's hesitation, he hurried towards the source of the clear light. Since he already had the Pure World White Lotus and couldn't refine the innate divine restrictions anytime soon, he might as well go and see what had been born that caused such a commotion.
Inside the valley, spiritual herbs were everywhere. Unlike the outside world, this place was filled with a rich innate spiritual energy, not just innate qi.
Innate spiritual energy was innate pure spiritual energy, generally only existing in the celestial realm and rarely found in the primordial wilderness.
Continuing deeper, a ball of clear light quietly floated in the depths of the valley, covered with Great Dao runes, expounding the Dao of the Nine Heavens Pure Spirit. The surrounding innate spiritual energy emanated from it.
"The Primordial Pure Qi Source?!"
"How could such a thing exist here?"
Upon seeing this object, Feng Zichen was greatly shocked, even more excited than upon seeing the Twelfth-Grade Pure World White Lotus.
